Sounds like a good use for an old 8 inch OSI C8P-DF if one still exists!

He also mentioned he has source code on 8 inch disks from an
Ohio Scientific, Inc. machine. He thought hed have more trouble
finding a way to read those because of its scheme of using an
6820 parallel port controller and a 6850 serial port controller
to access floppies. Is that true? Should the normal scheme for
connecting a Shugart-y drive to an old AT-era WD controller
work to read these old disks?
